What happened to the TLC network? I once thought it meant “The Learning Channel,” but I’m pretty sure that’s not the case now. I’m afraid TLC really stands for “The Last Channel,” at least for me. While I’m a channel surfer by nature, I can honestly tell you it’s the last channel I’ll check for something to watch.

Lately, TLC has put forth several documentary programs like “The Woman With Giant Legs,” “Half-Ton Teen,” “Half-Ton Man,” and “Half-Ton Killer” that have cornered some of the viewing public — not me, of course. However, the channel also garnered a fair share of television viewers for their series’ “Strange Sex” and “My Strange Addiction.”

None of these programs would have anything to attract my attention if I were looking through the TV Guide. And, I’m pretty sure that if I were channel surfing I’d go right past them. I just don’t see the point getting hooked into some of the bizarre aspects the network is showcasing.

I recently read that TLC is about to drop on viewers another program almost guaranteed to get people to watch. This time it’s a about a man with — I can’t believe I’m actually going to type this — a 132-pound scrotum. Yes, you read that right. The new show is appropriately going to be called, “The Man With A 132-Pound Scrotum.”

What is the point? I’m actually sort of laughing as I write this because I couldn’t make up something like this and find it to be believable.

I’m rather embarrassed to think that in today’s golden age of TV viewing, we have this.

A good friend of mine told me about “My Strange Addiction,” saying, “You won’t believe this show.” We viewed some clips on YouTube from the show she caught while channel surfing and she was so right — I couldn’t believe it.

I find it hard to understand TLC’s marketing executives believe these shows are a good idea.

But just like when you drive upon an accident, you can’t help but look. Maybe that’s keeps these shows on the air, but I know I won’t be looking.
